Lyric discussion by gregw 

I've been obsessed with this song for the past two days after watching his performance on Letterman in 1984 on youtube. I believe it's about the state of man in a Godless world -- the fallout for having killed God. Without God, "who gonna take away his license to kill?" We're left unchecked, worshipping at an altar of our own reflection, believing only what we see with our eyes.
